Question
A concrete footing 1.5 m x 1.5 m wide has its
base at a depth of 2 m below the groud
surface.
Angle of friction = 10°
Unit wt. of soil = 18 KN/m³
%3D
Cohesion of soil = 60 KPa
Saturated unit wt. = 20 KN/m³
Bearing capacity factors for local shear
failure at 0 = 10°
No' = 7.5
Ng' = 1.8
Ny' = 0.48
%3D
The water table is 0.80 below the ground
surface.
Determine the net allowable bearing capacity
for lacal shear failure assuming factor of safety
of 3.
Ans. 138.08 kPa
